Friday Night Lights Forecast: Clear Skies and Kickoff Temps in the 40s
What will the weather be for Friday night football in the Chattahoochee Valley?
Friday night games across the CNAW area will be clear and rain-free, with kickoff temperatures from 43 in Greenville and LaFayette to 49 in Columbus, falling into the low 40s by the fourth quarter.

Friday night will be clear, dry and cold enough that nobody is comfortable in a T-shirt. Every town in the viewing area carries a zero rain chance, so the umbrella can stay in the truck. Around kickoff, temperatures run from 43 in the coolest towns to 49 in the warmest, and by the fourth quarter most places give back another 3 or 4 degrees.
The coolest seats will be in Greenville, where Greenville plays, and in LaFayette, home to LaFayette and Chambers Academy. Both towns sit at 43 around kickoff and 40 by the fourth quarter, with a 10 mph breeze that makes an aluminum bleacher feel colder than the thermometer says. Down the road in Valley, where Valley and Beulah play, it is 44 at kickoff and 41 late, and the wind is lighter at about 5 mph. Lanett is milder than its neighbors, with Lanett and Springwood looking at 47 around kickoff and 44 by the fourth quarter.
Around LaGrange, where LaGrange, Troup County and LaGrange Academy play, expect 45 around kickoff and 42 by the fourth quarter. Callaway in Hogansville starts at the same 45 and slips a little further to 41, with a 10 mph wind out of the northwest. Manchester runs 45 and 42, and Harris County in Hamilton sits at 46 and 43.
In Auburn, where Auburn and Lee-Scott play, the wind drops to around 5 mph and it will be 46 at kickoff and 42 late. Opelika and Beauregard, both in Opelika, run a degree cooler at 45 and 42. Loachapoka, Notasulga and Booker T. Washington in Tuskegee all land near 46 around kickoff and 43 by the fourth quarter under a light breeze.
Columbus is the warm spot. At Kinnett Stadium and A.J. McClung Memorial Stadium, where Shaw, Hardaway, Columbus, Spencer, Kendrick, Jordan, Carver, Northside, Calvary Christian, Pacelli and Brookstone play, it is 49 around kickoff and 45 by the fourth quarter under a clear sky with a 10 mph breeze. Across the river, Central in Phenix City runs 47 and 43, Smiths Station and Glenwood 46 and 43, and Russell County in Seale 46 and 42.
South and east of Columbus the numbers are the friendliest in the area. Randolph Clay in Cuthbert and Quitman County in Georgetown match Columbus at 49 around kickoff and hold 45 late. Chattahoochee County in Cusseta, Marion County in Buena Vista, Stewart County in Lumpkin, Schley County in Ellaville, Webster County in Preston and Taylor County in Butler all start at 48 and finish between 44 and 45. Central in Talbotton runs 47 and 43. In Alabama, Eufaula sits at 46 and 43, and Barbour County in Clayton at 45 and 42.
Bring a real jacket rather than a hoodie, and a blanket for the second half if you are in Greenville, LaFayette or Valley, where the wind and the cold line up. Leave the rain gear at home. When the parking lots empty, much of the area will already be in the low 40s and still falling, and Columbus keeps right on going to about 33 before sunrise Saturday.
